| It just may be impossible to exhaust the creative potential
of LEGO bricks. With an active imagination as your guide,
there are endless possibilities-provided you follow the LEGO
Company's official (and sensible) rules. This means no
cutting or tampering with bricks, creating models that shoot
unapproved projectiles, or using non-standard parts with any
LEGO product. After all, those little precision-molded ABS
bricks can be dangerous in the wrong hands! Well, toss those
rules out the window.
Forbidden Lego introduces you to the type of free-style
building that LEGO's master builders do for fun in the back
room. Using LEGO bricks in combination with common household
materials (from rubber bands and glue to plastic spoons and
ping-pong balls) along with some very unorthodox building
techniques, you'll learn to create working models that LEGO
would never endorse. Try your hand at a toy gun that shoots
LEGO plates, a candy catapult, a high voltage LEGO vehicle,
a continuous-fire ping-pong ball launcher, and other useless
but incredibly fun inventions.
Once you get into the spirit, you'll want to try inventing
your own rule-breaking models. Forbidden Lego's authors,
share tips and tricks that will inspire you and help you
turn your visions into reality. Nothing's against the rules
in this book!
